Retail Theft is Not Victimless!
In the UK, over 500 retail and security personnel face assaults or abuse on a daily basis while performing their jobs. These criminal acts not only drive up the cost of goods but also jeopardise the viability of businesses, leading to potential closures, job losses, and a reduction in crucial local services. The financial impact of retail theft amounts to billions of pounds each year for UK retailers, resulting in higher prices for consumers.
